MicrOlène

The disc assembly will remove suspended particles as small as one micron, which is more than adequate for food service equipment. The one-micron disc has specifically been incorporated into our Microlene water filters because of its ability to remove particulates which may affect the operation of food service equipment. The unique design allows for omni-directional installation of the filters with uniform flow and back-flushing capabilities. After passing through the first stage particulate filter, the pre-cleansed water then enters the filter body containing the active media. High quality, purification grade, granular activated carbon is used in all SFES GC Series products. The activated carbon adsorbs chlorine and other bad tastes and odors from the water source. The VP-Series water filters contain a special scale inhibiting compound- a slow dissolving, food grade, hexametaphosphate crystal which is FDA approved for use in the treatment of drinking water.

The crystal has been specially formulated so that a skeletal structure remains while and after the phosphate has been released. This ensures a positive displacement in the media bed at all times. The phosphate effectively controls corrosion by forming a thin protective film on all metallic surfaces. This film does not build up on itself and thus does not interfere with the heat transfer or water flow, and enhances energy efficiency. The formation of lime-scale (calcium) deposits are inhibited by the presence of the phosphate crystal in the water. In cold water applications, this special crystal inhibits lime scale by sequestering the scale causing minerals so that they cannot precipitate and form scale deposits on equipment parts.
